Items for discussion as reached in the list
- How much flexibility do specializers have to make exceptions to behaviors that are outlined in the DITA standard? (MUST, SHOULD, MAY discussion)
- What does it mean when we say that an implementation supports the DITA standard? Is the entire standard required or are some parts optional?
- Is the scope of DITA 1.2 as it is shaping up too large? Is the DITA specification becoming too complex?
- Is the approach outlined in the proposed DITA 1.2 documentation TOC a good approach?
Next Proposals worklist:
These items will be moved into the agenda as ready, working toward the following schedule and "drop dead" date for finished proposals:
- note design proposal templates have space for literal text for spec
- design cutoffs third week of november
